An interesting “chain of events” has brought me here, to this point in my life. I feel like all of my past experiences and failures were all in preparation for this business….PetalRoot. After eleven years of incredibly satisfying work as a Paramedic I developed PTSD and I suddenly became unable to function and cope with everyday tasks. I would rarely leave my house and I would often spend hours hiding in my bed physically shaking. I suffered from insomnia, anxiety and crippling feelings of doom. It was during this time that I began to search for something…..anything to find some relief. I came across a lady who combined full body massage with energy work and after several treatments I could feel the gentle healing starting to take place. I was already a Reiki Master but after experiencing the power of both of these techniques combined I decided that this was the direction my life must go. I went to the Vancouver School Of Bodywork And Massage and took the Spa Therapy Course. There I was empowered to combine physical bodywork using several pressure point modalities such as Reflexology and Shiatsu with Reiki. Holistic health and wellness treats both the physical and energetic body. This is my passion!

Hi my name is Chelsea and I am a Reflexologist, Reiki Teacher for the Canadian Reiki Association and Holistic Massage Practitioner. My passion is providing people with a safe and loving space to receive, be taken care of and feel loved and supported during this powerful time of change and awakening. After years of trying to do ‘normal’ 9-5 jobs and dealing with crippling anxiety as a result, I realized I couldn’t spend time in spaces where you need to feel buttoned up or masked. Places where you can’t be vulnerable or talk about experiences beyond the norm. I moved on to create a practice where I can provide that space for people to come and be their true selves, share without judgement and after almost 10 years in practice I still love seeing the magic that happens when we connect and let down these guards. I specialize in Relaxation, Calming the nervous system, Gentle pain relief, Emotional release and Providing spiritual guidance.
I look forward to meeting you!

At one point in my life, following several intense surgeries, I was left in a state where my body had deteriorated so greatly, making everyday movements like getting to the ground or up onto something extremely difficult.
I wasn’t ready to give into a life of chronic and debilitating pain. Sitting up, standing and lying down….. it all was excruciating!
Through a gentle yoga class I met a woman who would become my future Reiki teacher. I was open and willing to try anything that I possibly could find to experience some relief and to increase my quality of life. Shortly after meeting my new mentor, she began doing Reiki treatments on me. Not only did I begin to feel less pain, I also noticed that the energy in my body began to flow with more ease. Due to the immense healing that I experienced during her sessions I eventually decided to become a student. I have always been very in-tune and sensitive to energy! This was “right up my alley!”
After learning how to use energy healing to enhance my own life I then began to help others to find their healing paths. Shortly after, I also discovered Reflexology. This modality resonated with me as well. I decided to begin taking an intensive Reflexology Course. In my experience Reflexology is an extremely deep and healing modality which has resolved many of my chronic health issues while also increasing my overall state of wellness. Reflexology has affected me in a positive way both mentally and physically.
It has been a rough path to get to where I am today. I am excited to use my skills and to share my healing journey with those who are searching for health and wellness in their own lives.

I credit two main things to my approach to holistic wellness and self care - one, spending nine years working in the spa and wellness industry. And two, growing up surrounded by the beautiful Rocky Mountains in Canmore, Alberta. I refer to 2020 as the year of my holistic education. I attended my first year of RMT school, completed my level 1 and 2 reiki certification and completed my yoga
teacher training. This was the upside of 2020 for me, finally stepping into what I always thought was destined for me.
Since moving to Kamloops in 2021, I have been treating clients and really flexing those practitioner muscles, no pun intended. I truly feel I have come into my own style and rhythm and adding reflexology to my offerings has just brought me even closer to my calling and passion. I feel such happiness and achievement when I have clients leave feeling more relaxed, in more relief and in less pain. I take a holistic approach to wellness and like to incorporate energy work into my massage therapy treatments and the motto ‘leave it better than you found it’ applies to my work and my life.
A lot of clients will find an emotional response to the work we do, and I am here to hold space for you. I believe that you cannot pour from an empty cup and I am here to help you refill yours so you can be the best version of yourself, without risking a drought of self. I have learned so much over the years about PTSD and how trauma can lock itself in the body and impact the functionality of our organs, endocrine system and nervous system, and I believe wholeheartedly this can be combated with regular self care including massage, reflexology and yoga - just to name a few.
I look forward to meeting and treating you.

Hello everyone. I am Johanne or as many people call me, Jo.
I am looking forward to meeting you, helping you to relax, enjoy some peace and maybe find a new and healthier way of living.
I have always had a passion to support and help others. Whether it’s with self care, new ideas, natural health options or different ways to deal with the many paths and forks we encounter along our journeys. Through my love of creativity I met Ms. Chelsea Harris and Ms. Dana Chasse at an event.
Wow! A brand new path was opened up for me. My love of energy work and reflexology was finally brought to surface-without fear.
During my very first reiki session I felt as if a huge weight was lifted off of me. I had been carrying it for many years. I knew I had to learn more about reiki, reflexology and chakras. I began taking courses. I am embracing all the benefits from these natural and therapeutic modalities and helping others to do so as well.
I meditate on a daily basis, use 100% pure essential oils to help emotionally, when needed, and I love incorporating oils in my daily life.
I look forward to helping you relax, take care of your self and maybe find a little peace and tranquility in a overly busy hectic world.

Hi everyone! My name is Maureen, and I have embarked on this amazing journey of self-love, and healing one person at a time.
How did I find myself interested, you might ask? Being born to parents in the beauty industry, I was already on my way to where I am now, without realizing it. I am a retired Licensed Aesthetician and have always been aware of the different healing modalities our universe has to offer.
Reflexology has always been an interest of mine, and every chance I have I always get a treatment involving the feet and body. I find it amazing how the soles of our feet have so many pressure points to assist in helping to heal our bodies.
On a trip to Australia, I was introduced to Reiki, another alternate healing technique working with the chakras. I sought out practitioners and after having a series of Reiki sessions, I became convinced that I needed to learn Reiki to self-heal and to heal others.
I have also discovered the benefits and properties of crystals and stones, which I create into bracelets and malas. I have 7 grandchildren, that share my enthusiasm of crystals.
Today I find myself wanting to delve further into both practices and the universe has presented me with an opportunity that is too good to pass up, working with 5 amazing like-minded practitioners. I am looking forward to offering,, Reflexology, Reiki and now my newest modality Spinal Flow Technique.
I am looking forward to helping you on your healing journey!

I am very excited to welcome everyone to this space. I am a mom to three young adults, a bonus mom to a sweet young lady, and a grammy to 1 little girl. I grew up on the coast, but have been in Kamloops for the last 19 years. My spiritual journey really started to unfold about
6 years ago. I have always been very intuitive, and just accepted that without much questioning. However, do to some very traumatic family circumstances I really started looking for some spiritual healing in order to cope with my grief. I did some traditional counselling, but found that I needed something more. The first spiritual/energy work that really spoke to me
was Body Talks. It is what helped pull me out of some really difficult times, and helped me to
separate what was mine, and what I could not control. I learned to understand that our bodies
really do hold onto traumas, emotions, feelings, and that we are usually unaware of this until it presents as pain, anxiety, depression. I continued to try a number of different healing
modalities, read a ton of books, learned how to meditate, and just slowed down. I always
seemed to come back to energy work though.
After leaving my nursing career of 16 years, I took some time to really listen to what was calling
me. I am a healer and an empath by nature and I knew I wanted to help people. So, i combined my nursing knowledge and a speciality in orthopaedics, with my love of energy healing, and landed in reflexology. Since then I have also completed certificates in Body Talk
Access, Reiki, and am a student of Spinal Flow Technique. I also work with Quantum/Scalar energy.
I look forward to being a part of your healing journey, or just helping you to relax.
